Investigators
claim they have
identified two
senior Pakistan
High Commission
officials who
were supervising
Zubair Khan, the
alleged Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI)
spy, as reported
on July 28, by
The Times of
India. Earlier
on July 17, he
was arrested by
Crime Branch from
Jamia Nagar, Delhi
on charges of
gathering information
about Indian defence
establishments
for Pakistan.
Sources
say the two cannot
be questioned
as they enjoy
diplomatic immunity.
Police will now
approach the Ministry
of External Affairs
for help in probing
their role.
Sources
say the alleged
spy, Zubair Khan,
used to meet the
Pakistani handlers
regularly and
knew them by their
code names, Talib
and Fayyaz. "Khan
says he does not
know their designations.
We have some details
about them which
we cannot share
at this moment,"
said a senior
officer. Apart
from spying on
defence establishments,
sources say, Khan
was tasked with
collecting data
about Air India
pilots, families
that regularly
visit Pakistan,
and government
officials with
bilateral roles.
He
had reportedly
come in touch
with the officers
of the Pak High
Commission when
he went there
for an interview
for an Urdu teacher's
post, said sources. |
